Despite of high inflation last year, the Philippine economy ends up with a steady 6.4% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 6% Gross National Income (GNI) growth rate in 2018. The driving force behind the economic growth were constant surging of borrowing costs and strength in domestic demands.
With this reason, the middle-income bracket—both lower and upper—accelerates than never been before.
Now, the number one car brand in the country—Toyota—is poised to bring a perfect matched for their middle-income class, the Vios XE.
Designed to provide customers with a notch higher entry-level quality sedan, the Vios XE is aptly named for being Xtra Economical, Xtra Efficient, and Xtra Easy to Drive.
Power-wise, the Vios XE is equipped with 1.3-liter Dual VVT-i engine which has proven itself to be a preferred powertrain for fuel efficiency.
In terms of safety, the XE also shares the same safety features present across all Vios variants: a 5-star ASEAN New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) rating, 7 SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, and Anti-Lock Brake System.
While travelling, drivers can relax on the road with their carefully curated playlist as the newly introduced variant comes equipped with a touch screen 7-inch Display Audio with CD/MP3, weblink for both iOS/Android, as well as Bluetooth, USB, and AUX connectivity.
It also comes in four colors: Thermalyte, Red Mica Metallic, Freedom White, and Alumina Jade Metallic. At present, the Vios has nine variants.
The Vios XE is priced at P735,000.
